    I have found myself in a similar position. I have always been looking for something but I don’t know what. I went through the expected motions and always did what was expected of me, always thinking that I will find “IT” along the way. This has lead me down so many different paths that I no longer knew where or who I was and I definitely didn’t find “IT”. Recently I stumbled across a posting, that at least for me, turned on the inner light bulb. It did not give me advise on what to do but it did provide direction on what to look for. I no longer look for a specific path or live in blind absolutes of I need to do ‘X’ but rather I try to understand the reason for what I am doing (or did) and make the decision if I am doing it for the right reason. I am learning that a lot of things are done out of selfishness or false expectation of reciprocation. Not what I thought or wanted to learn about myself but sometimes the truth is not pretty. In a very short time I already feel better and while I do not have a specific destination, at least I feel like I am moving forward in a positive direction. I am rediscovering the journey to Ithica.

    Goals are important but I don’t see them as THE purpose. Maybe understanding why you want to achieve those goals is a better purpose.
